Lebanon’s two main power plants were forced to shut down on Saturday after running out of fuel plunging the country into darkness on Saturday.
The country has been running on reduced power for several weeks with electricity limited to just a few hours each day.
The shortage of diesel and fuel, along with an antiquated infrastructure, has worsened power cuts that have been a fixture for years.
Power was being restored on Sunday as the army began providing emergency fuel supplies with Lebanon’s Minister of Energy and Water, Walid Fayyad suggesting that again, electricity might be available at a reduced level.
